Hello everyone and welcome back! Let's dive right in shall we?
Was this episode strange for anyone else or was it just me?? Like I enjoyed everything with Cisco and Chester and the Still Force (which by the by makes no sense cause the powers are related to time travel not freezing you in place!) cause it gave us some backstory on Chester which we sorely needed but also cause it moved the plot forward. I'm very curious about the thing that Chester is building and how rather than if it'll help us defeat the Forces cause duh it obviously will. On that note I didn't love that Speed!Nora also just handwaved all nuance away when she was like yeah I was bathed in love when I reformed but all these other forces were evil cause THESE ARE FORCES AND THEY SHOULD BE NEUTRAL UNTIL SYPHONING OFF A HUMAN and I will die on that hill. Speaking of everything Iris and Speed!Nora did this week made no sense and I wonder if part of it still leads back to the fact that I hate that the different Forces can manifest human forms now. Like even Barry gave Iris a weird look at the end when she offered up their guest room to Speed!Nora as if he's thinking why are you suddenly so close? Idk the whole plot beat of her not realizing that taking on the form of Barry's dead mom would be a reminder of his dead mom was ridiculous as was the way it was resolved. I also know that this is the Barry Allen show but part of me sees all this and wonders about Wally and whether Speed!Nora appears in front of him as well or if he sees his own mom or someone else? God I miss Wally. I guess I should also mention that Joe tried to warn Frost about Kramer hunting her and she was really uninterested but that'll come back to bite her in the ass.
So I really guess that Speed!Nora is here to stay huh? For some reason I kept thinking that she'll just be a quick cameo but if all the Forces are the villains of the season then the Speed Force must stick around until the finale right? Why is it that I'm already over this whole season and it's only just started??
I still feel like I don't entirely understand the motives of the Flag Smashers and I can't help but agree with Zemo about them just being another group that believes what they believe is more right than others. Sam is also right when he says that maybe in another life we could connect with what they want but in the end as soon as murders of innocents start occuring there's no going back. This week also marked what I'm assuming will be the official turning of John Walker from douche canoe extraordinaire into a full on villain and I'm low key cackling at the idea that the US government who decided that Sam freaking Wilson wasn't good enough to be Captain America will have to do damage control now that it's all over the internet that their hand picked Cap replacement murdered someone in cold blood out in public. I do have to say that part of me was rooting for him to kill the Flag Smasher cause I was truly shocked and appalled that Carly killed poor Hoskins! I also had a feeling that with super soldier serum running amok at some point John Walker would get his hands on it and prove once again that he's more Red Skull than Steve Rogers after taking it but I kinda assumed that he already had it but instead we saw that he took it this week. Sharon didn't disappear like I thought she would but she also didn't add much either and I'm still waiting on what her deal is. I was also really disappointed that the Dora Milaje didn't play a bigger part in this week but I did enjoy watching them beat John Walker's ass to nothing.
My Hero Academia Season 5 Episode 3
I'm so super pumped for this arc we're going to get where we see Class 1A and Class 1B fight each other cause I love love love tournament style fights which is what we're basically getting. I'm still not emotionally attached to Class 1B which I think is one of the only real flaws in this show cause like how have we gone so many seasons without getting to know them as more than that one irritating dude who screams about how 1B is better and the girl that looks like Misty from Pokemon who punches him. I wonder if this arc will be enough to get us to like the other class or if I'll just be irritated to see our class be defeated cause duh it's not like every single 1A team can win without it being boring. Maybe it'll be more like Fairy Tail with how we met so many other guilds at the Grand Magic Games and we hated them at first but as time went on we all teamed up to face a bigger threat and thus we got attached. It was interesting to see Shinso again too and how he's upgraded his power to be able to mimic other voices so a person can be brainwashed after thinking an ally spoke to them. It was also hilarious how he gave such a cold speech about how he's not here to make friends and everyone was just like okay cool story bro but get in line. In terms of Deku's dream as it turns out he is special cause though All Might also saw those memories, the original One For All only spoke to Deku and he said something about the singularity being reached which makes me think that the One For All power has reached it's upper limit in Deku's body and from now on when it gets passed, it won't get stronger per say but it still is insanely powerful based on Deku's exposition on what singularities are.
